I assume Magpul 40's in the one? Nice stash and setup. The small one is a 1150, the larger one is a 1200. There's 30 round pmags in the small one and 30 round GI mags in the other. |

I’ll get pictures but I have 20+ mags for each handgun, 200+ mags for 5.56 ARs and probably 30+ for each variant, 308, 300BLK, and UZI. Where i need more are for curios and older rifles. I only have 5 or so each for the Enfield, the CETME, and the 760 gamemaster. |

Well thats a different take for sure... well done Sir. |

When the AWB sunset, I immediately bought mags for guns I hadn't even purchased yet. To this day I will still randomly buy AR mags despite having a large box full of new ones still in the wrapper. That was two decades ago. Talk about trauma scars! edit: with the VA election outcome, I'm back to buying mags for guns I don't own yet ahead of what will certainly be a year of bans coming. Fortunately, I have Glock and AR covered. |
